Recruiting Football Talk VIII

No, Nico's case has NOTHING to do with the market. He did not come to Tennessee and say "I can make X dollars over here, I want a raise". Which by the way would have been bad enough considering that is not how real contracts work. He came to Tennessee and said "Spring is over, you won't be able to replace me, and you are ****ed in 2025 if I leave right now". That is a negotiation that has nothing to do with his fair market value.

You are using the word "market" in the broadest possible sense. Essentially just saying the market is "people observing behavior and adjusting". Hence the Bernie Madoff comparison. Why have transparency laws on the books that prevent fraud? It's useless. If people get screwed out of their money the market will adjust, right? It's a ridiculous argument you're making.

Uhhh bc transparency laws prevent fraud.

Leveraging your position in a negotiation is not fraud.

Fraud hurts people. A dude saying he wants more NIL money or he’s gonna transfer does not. Again, your favorite football team is not the same as an innocent consumer.

I’m arguing against the government being involved. The government that allows corporations and billionaires to give tens and hundreds of millions of dollars in an effort to sway elections. That’s the government you think should be involved in enforcing anything to do with money in college sports? Comical.

Are you always this serious, moran?
 
Are you really 20, or just yankin' my lariat?

btw the politics forumers think we are all buddies. I told them that most of you would walk over my burning body to get a cold cup of water, then post mortem relieve yourselves on said corpse.
It's called being cultured. I know yall up there in Appalachia don't know much about it.

How's Jesco & Suebob doing, btw?

That's an absolutely insane way of viewing the concept of enforceable contracts. The NFL-NFLPA CBA is enforced by the government. So.. the government runs the NFL? Jerry Jones is a CIA sleeper agent? It's absurd.

You don't need some government agency running the sport. You just need it to be legal for schools to give players pay-for-play contracts that are enforceable.

The deep irony in how you're defending the current structure is that it ONLY exists because of the half-baked NCAA rules that say it is forbidden to give a player pay-for-play contracts, but allowed to give them NIL contracts that aren't really about NIL, except when the player wants to negotiate in bad faith, in which case the school's hands are tied.

If I was in charge, I would remove all NCAA rules preventing pay for play, thereby getting rid of all these ridiculous loophole NIL contracts. In other words, less rules, less NCAA oversight. And you oppose that?
